Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups dried Mission figs, chopped

  • 1 1/4 cups red wine

  • 3 cups onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Juice and finely shredded zest of 1 1/2 lemons

  • 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

Directions

  • Add the figs and wine to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and allow the mixture to simmer for 25 minutes or until the figs are tender. After 25 minutes, if the figs are still covered by a significant amount of wine, spoon out the excess liquid until the figs are barely covered.

  • While the figs simmer, put the onions and olive oil into a large frying pan over medium heat and cook for 20 minutes or until soft, stirring often.

  • Once the onions are soft, remove from the heat and mix with the fig mixture, black pepper, honey, salt, lemon juice, and 1/2 of the lemon zest. Let cool.

  • Just before serving, stir in the pine nuts and garnish the mixture with the remaining zest.
